Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us. 

 I'll just say it again FFS...... Again again and again.

Up forward is his best possie by far.

Why are you all blaming Smith? Hibberd gave tippinwuiti all the space that led to that goal.

Essendon on the few occasions they’ve bothered, have transitioned the ball well. But our mids relax when the quarter is nearly over, drop their defensive set up and this [censored] happens. Every. Single. Time. 


Are Melksham and Spargo playing?  We are 2 players short. (3 if we add Smith)

Edited by ProperDee

You can hide players   but  how much hiding do we need to do with Smith. 

Our final quarter possibly for the season. Just win well melbourne, rub further salt into the essendon team and there fans. 

No injuries either please. 

Just keep going. 

 

Poor quarter too defensive need to kick goals.

Are Spargo and Milkshake even playing today?

Delist Spargo, Smith, Neal-Bullen.  Dumb and lack intensity.  


My god this is a boring game. Can’t hit targets, kick goals, don’t look in any words the centre when playing, always playing the boundary side and players casually jogging around.  
 

This is pathetic. Most of the play is stop and start with no flow or system what so ever. 
 

My son said he just wants the game to be over, it’s bloody boring and they keep turning it over. Says it all really.

Spargo is. 

i dont understand why they do not know tippinwuti is going to run with the ball every change he gets, he keeps faking them out  and running around our players. thankfully he is not destroying us like he has in the past.

Terrible quarter, the only reason we didn't lose it by a handful of goals is they are just so bad.

How Melksham made it through the entire season without being dropped is just dumbfounding.

Would be classic Melbourne if we lost from here, against a genuinely awful side playing bottom 2 football.


Great minds Moony.

Ugh another goal on the siren.

Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing. 

 

Given Daniher's combination of appalling set-shot kicking, general inconsistency and the dreaded osteitis pubis, I was staggered they delisted a tall forward with demonstrated 2019 goalkicking ability.

Seeing tipungwuti create havoc for us shows the importance of chasing a Saad/Zac Williams type this off season. 

Well this may well be our last quarter of 2020. Which Melbourne will turn up?


I’m blaming Smith because SEN is blaming Smith, and it’s all I have to go on.

Yeah milkshake is pointing and telling players where to go. He is like our very own traffic cop. Useless. 

 

Just kick it to Hunt or Petracca. Only two forwards that can kick straight at the moment.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
